Hearing Roy's words, Julia was shocked. She could tell that Roy wanted to take the Red Sea Egg for himself!
What was so powerful about this Red Sea Egg that even Roy was willing to take the risk to hide it?
However, she did not ask. After returning to her senses, she began to think about it for Roy.
After pondering for a while, she asked Roy, "Can't you put this thing away?"
"No. This thing is too strange. It has no soul, but it's a living creature. It can't be stored in Space!" Roy shook his head.
"In that case, we can't stay here anymore!" Julia said. "Mother Lilith probably has some spies that we don't know about, helping her collect some things that happen in this world … Since you plan to hide this thing, you have to avoid these possible spies."
"Yes, the news of my return can't spread!" Roy nodded, but then he frowned. "But there's still something more troublesome. I don't know if the Charred Council will tell them about the theft of the Red Sea Egg. If Lilith finds out about this, she'll understand that I've already obtained the Red Sea Egg …"
Julia thought for a while and shook her head. "I don't think it's possible because the invasion of Space is a very shameful thing for the Charred Council. It's impossible for them to publicize it. Even if they want to recover the Red Sea Egg, they'll only do it in secret, so I think there shouldn't be a problem."
"That's good! As long as this matter is concealed, no one will know the whereabouts of the Red Sea Egg. After I figure out the specific operation method of the Red Sea Egg and find a place to hide it, I'll appear in public! " Roy said. "Moreover, at that time, I'll make Lilith mistakenly think that I escaped from the Charred Council with serious injuries and failed the mission of retrieving the Red Sea Egg!"
"Are you confident?" Julia asked.
"It shouldn't be a big problem …" Roy thought about it and then shook his head. "Actually, the most confident way is for you to kill me once and let my soul return to the Abyss Outpost to resurrect. This way, you can clear your suspicions!"
Because of the existence of the Abyss Outpost in this world, if a demon was killed and his soul escaped, he would first resurrect in the Abyss Outpost and not directly return to the Abyss. Once Roy's soul resurrected there, Lilith would think that he was killed in the Charred Council Space, and the mission would definitely fail.
However, even though Julia was Roy's most trusted person now, it was better not to hand over his soul to others … Julia would not agree to this kind of thing. In the Abyss, even couples could not hand over their lives to each other, so Roy was just casually saying this.
Perhaps someone would ask, why did Roy not activate the Teleportation skill and directly return to the Abyss? If he went back, wouldn't everything be fine?
This was indeed a solution, but the problem was that Roy was certain that the importance of the Red Sea Egg was probably beyond imagination. Once Roy returned to the Abyss without saying a word, Lilith would definitely suspect that he had escaped with the Red Sea Egg. For a demon king like Lilith, even if her clone stayed in this world, it did not mean that she could not deal with Roy in the Abyss!
How strong was Lilith? Although Roy was not too sure, he understood after referring to Raphael's incarnation … Roy did not want to be targeted by Lilith.
What he needed to do now was to clear his suspicions. He had to create the illusion that he had failed and did not retrieve the Red Sea Egg in order to deceive Lilith and not let her have the slightest doubt. Only then could he completely take the Red Sea Egg for himself.
Therefore, Roy could not directly return to the Abyss. On the contrary, he had to stay in this world for a while, and it would be best if he returned to the Black Stone Throne to meet Lilith and report the news of his failure.
Now, the best news for Roy was that he was certain that Lilith had not placed her hopes on him at all. After all, he was only a high-rank demon, and Lilith had probably only used him as a pawn to explore the way from the beginning. So even if he failed, Lilith would feel that it was normal and would not suspect that he had the strength to steal the Red Sea Egg from under the noses of the three councilors of the Charred Council!
Roy's plan was actually very simple. It was to deceive the heavens and cross the sea. He believed that as long as he failed, Lilith might send more pawns to probe. But in that case, even if she finally found out that the Red Sea Egg had disappeared, she would not be able to explain how it had disappeared.
Julia quickly figured out Roy's true intentions. Just as she said, she and Roy were now partners, and she and Roy had accepted this mission together. The two of them now shared a common destiny. Since Roy planned to do this, she would help as much as possible.
Now, Roy needed to hide temporarily and find a place to temporarily place the Red Sea Egg. After discussing it, they found that it was probably not easy to operate in the human world. It was best to find a way to go to an alternate space.
Julia had originally suggested going to the alternate space where the Lord of the Hollows was. After all, that old demon still had contact with Roy and the others. With him leading the way, it would be very easy to go to his alternate space.
But in the end, Roy rejected this suggestion because he felt that he could not trust the Lord of the Hollows!
After coming out of the Charred Council Space, Roy had been thinking about a question. Since the Lord of the Hollows was once one of the councilors, who would replace his demon seat after he withdrew?
Of the three councilors, only Raphael had been exposed, and the other two were still a mystery. But there was no doubt that one of them should be a very powerful demon.
Finally, after thinking about it, Roy suddenly thought of someone. It was Black Hammer Ulthane!
If Roy asked him for help and asked him to send him to the space where the makers were, he should not refuse, right? In any case, Roy only needed to promise him that he would not cause trouble in the world of his people. Although the makers were few in number, they were powerful, and they were one of the few alternate spaces that had not been invaded by demons. If he placed the Red Sea Egg there, he should be able to hide it well. Moreover, Ulthane had promised Roy a favor back then, and it was time to return it.
Therefore, Roy got Julia to make a trip to find Black Hammer Ulthane and to disperse all the demons around the castle in order to hide the news of Roy's return.
Ulthane's whereabouts were easy to find, and it could even be said that he had heard of him from time to time. Over the years, he had been searching for human survivors everywhere and often fought with angels and demons. It did not take much effort for Julia to find him.
Two days later, Julia returned with an enormous rune key. She told Roy that Ulthane had given it to him, and Ulthane had agreed to Roy's request as expected. This key was the key to open the makers' alternate space.
After obtaining this key, Roy secretly set off. He left the castle with the Red Sea Egg alone, found the entrance to the alternate space, and used the key Ulthane gave him to open the spatial gate leading to the makers' world.
However, what Roy did not expect was that the first thing he saw after entering this world was Ulthane!
"Are you waiting for me?" Roy looked at him in surprise.
"Damn it. Do you think I'll really turn a blind eye to a demon entering the world we live in?" Ulthane said unhappily. "Ever since Julia took the key, I've been waiting for you here!"
"Okay!" Roy nodded. "Are you satisfied now that you've been waiting for me?"
"I'll repeat it again. Don't mess around here, Osiris!" Ulthane said solemnly. Then he looked at the enormous egg beside Roy and could not help but gulp in surprise. "I seem to understand why you came here. Is this damn thing what I imagined?"
Ulthane had definitely heard of the Red Sea Egg. Roy knew that he could not hide it from this old fellow, so he could only nod. "Yes, it's what you imagined!"
"I didn't expect you to really get it out. This thing has been in the hands of the Charred Council for thousands of years!" Ulthane walked over, looked up at the Red Sea Egg, and sighed. "You demon, you always do surprising things …"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. This thing has to be hidden first. You're the landlord here. Show me a place!" Roy waved his hand.
"Come with me. There's a hidden valley in the northwest. You can hide it there first!" With that, Ulthane turned around and walked away. Roy carried the Red Sea Egg and followed closely behind him …
